I hope the summer weather returns. It was pretty darn cool this a.m. and though the sun was shining, we had quite a shower of rain as we arrived at the Research Station. Last week was a successful week despite the fact we had close to a one inch of […]
Father’s Day is coming. I am not sure many of us whose fathers have gone ahead think of the hero of our childhood with more devotion on Father’s Day than any other day. There simply isn’t a single day that goes by without my father in it, in memory now […]

It is June 3 as I write this and I have layers of clothing on. That don’t seem right. I have heard two reports–one saying that summer will be colder than normal and the other stating it will be warmer than normal. I think it just means that we don’t […]
I am moving. I sold my beautiful property with the maple syrup trees and the Ginkgo tree and its history of 270 million years and the Butternut rescued from my friend’s back yard. I leave the blueberries and the blackberries that grow in abundance. I leave my pony buried beneath […]
